It seems like … / I assume …

-(으)려나 보다

In Lesson 4 of this level, you were introduced to the structure - to use with action

Track verbs, and in Lesson 8, you learned how to use -( ) . Combined, these two
45

structures create -( ) .

This structure can be shortened even further:

-( ) → -( )

Meaning:

-( ) is a way of expressing your assumption about a FUTURE action which

you assume SOMEONE is going to do or something that you assume will happen. For

a similar meaning, you can use -( ) ; however, -( ) generally has a

stronger meaning than -( ) .

158
Develop Your Communication Skills by Building Longer Sentences

-( ) is used when making a statement based on what you saw and are talking about LESSON 23

something that will happen in regards to people or animate things, whereas -( )

is used more for inanimate objects as well as animate things. -( ) is based on

something a bit more obvious and is more of a deduction about something, whereas -( )

is more of a hunch about something. Nevertheless, you sound more certain of your

statement when using -( ) .

Conjugation:
Verb stems ending with a vowel + -
Verb stems ending with a last consonant + -

Ex) Track

1. = to close
+- =

→ . = I guess they are going to close it. / It looks like they want to close it.
* . = I think they will close it.

2. = to walk somewhere
+- =

→ . = It looks like he is going to walk there.
* . = I think he will walk there.
** The act of just walking would be , but when traveling somewhere by walking, use

.

Please note that -( ) cannot be used for adjectives in infinitive form on its own

since there is no intention for being in a certain state. Using -( ) to talk about the

efforts of getting to a certain state, becoming + adjective , is accepted, but -( )

159

LESSON 25 LESSON 25

Compared to, Relatively

-에 비해서 -(으)ㄴ/는 편이다

Korean is, often at times, very straightforward. If you are saying something, but you want to Track
be less direct, there are several expressions which can soften your sentence. You will learn 49
how to use one of those expressions in this lesson.

-//

In the dictionary, the word by itself means side , and it is found in words such as

(opposite side) or (same side/team). You can use the word in the structure

adjective + + - (to be) to say that something or someone is rather +

adjective , somewhat + adjective , on the + adjective + side or tend to be +

adjective . - / / is simply a way to change a verb into an adjective.

169

and Learning More about Korean Culture

When you want to be direct and state that something is big, you can just say by using

the verb . If you use the same verb, but use it in the - / / form,

, the meaning changes to it s on the bigger side , it s rather big , it s somewhat big , or

even it s not small .

Conjugation:
Descriptive verbs:
Verb stems ending with a vowel + -
Verb stems ending with a consonant + -

Action verbs:

Track

Past tense → Verb stem + - /

More examples:

→ = It s small.

tends to be small.

→ . = It s expensive.

You know, Isn’t it ...?, You see …, Come on …

-잖아(요)

- ( ) is a very popular ending in Korean and often causes trouble for speakers of other

Track languages when trying to figure out the meaning as it has no direct translation. This ending

is used often in various contexts, therefore the meaning can vary, but - is most

commonly used when asking the other person to agree with you or when correcting the

other person s remark.

Meaning of - ( )

- ( ) originally comes from the structure V + - ( ) (Go to Level 1 Lesson 21

to review this grammar point), which means to not + V , but in its current use it has an

independent meaning which is quite different from the original form.

When attaching - ( ) to a verb stem, the sentence takes the meaning of You see? ,
No, that s not true. In fact, ... , Come on, ... , etc. Therefore, this structure can be used when
correcting what someone else said or when insisting that what you are saying or have said is
